Columbia Crews.

Of twenty-seven men who started training for the Columbia 'varsity crew only fourteen are left. Walter B. Peet '85, who has always taken a great interest in Columbia crews, is coaching the candidates. John H. Prentice '97, captain of last year's freshman crew, has been appointed captain of the 'varsity this year. The candidates are: J. H. Prentice '97, G. H. Carter '96, Hamilton Fish '95, W. O. Gennert '96, W. C. Hubdy '97, J. D. Irvin '96, E. MacGregor '96, R. M. Miles '96, S. S. Norton '96, H. E. Pierrepont '97, R. W. Pressprich '97, A. W. Putnam '97, A. Snyder '97 and L. Randolph '97.

The thirty candidates for the freshman crew have been reduced to about half that number. The material is lighter than usual, the average weight being only 150 pounds. O. Longacre and R. Pierrepont have been appointed temporary captains. Besides the regular triangular races with the Harvard and Yale freshman crews, the Columbia freshmen may enter the Harlem Regatta on Decoration Day.
